Duo Queue
I don't know if anyone as seen a pattern, because I have. Everytime someone has a semi-decent solution for fixing the inumerous problems with the ranked queue, it all comes to a point where all the critics to said solution become: "Premades would exploit it".
When are we all going to realize that Duo Queue'ing is deteriorating the quality of rankeds. And I'm not just talking about "bad" and "anti-hero" premades, those that you assume to be of [insert nationality you are xenophobic against] and they feed/troll/flame/carry you/throw the game. I'm bringing to the table to point of duo queue'ing in the first place...
We have 2 big ladders in this game: -Summoner's Rift Ladder -Summoner's Rift 5v5 Ladder
So I'll start with the 5v5, it works wonders. Everything is beautifull and amazing and... ahh the beauty of it. And then we have the rougher ladder, the normal ranked ladder. When is the realization that, the communication between 2 players in real time can be devastating, and I'll call to Marksman and Support mains, you more than anyone know the power of communication, sometimes, the enemy botlane is better, but that communication you got going with your lane partner, helps overcome the skill gap.
So why is it, that solo players have to deal with this infuriating handicap on a queue where you're there to prove your individual worth. Let's either completely eradicate duo queue or move it to a separate ladder.
This is where the white knights come in, and say "But thou is being unfair towards those poor civilians that want to make sweet and sweaty love to duo queue." If this is so much of a bother, then separate the queues.
On my personal opinion, if you're so set on duo queue'ing you could just go and find 3 more plays and play 5 v 5. Trust me, if you enjoy playing with a well coordinated partner, try playing with 4 coordinated partners. I could duo queue, but I abstain from it because the idea of wombo stomping someone just because I could tell my ADC "I'm going to engage" sickens me, and if you have even if a little of sportsmanship, it should sicken you too.
TL:DR Duo Queue is bad bla bla, split up duo queue from solo queue or eliminate duo queue bla bla.
